What i noticed is the push start indicator is amber. when i stepped on the brakes, the missing key indicator is appearing and the security / immobilizer lights are blinking. I popped up the hood and noticed a buzzing sound. I have searched the internet but nothing worked. I already replaced the battery of the key fob. Car battery is good as i just had it changed.

    Anyone else experienced this before?
    Just to eliminate doubts, have you checked using the spare key? If the same thing happens, & all power sources are healthy, transponder isn't likely being read. For modern cars to perform w/o hiccups, the car batt must be in tip top shape. For cars not used daily, a battery tender is their best ally. If it checks out fine, perhaps the dealership can reinitialize or update the smart start system. It's way too early for that module to fail.
    Hope you get it sorted.
    I still miss having a real key, this hobo dinosaur.

    It did eventually work but the electrical seemed messed up. The indicator lights sometimes does not blink when locking and unlocking, the power window in the driver side is not automatically going up. Lastly and surprisingly, it's triggering the car's alarm that i didnt know i had.

    I already have a sked for service so i hope they can find the probably

    And yes, i miss having a real key. Easier to fix

    For CX-5 2.5L AWD owners, how do you find its gas consumption?

    Because if I base only at the trip computer, it seems I'm only doing about 4 km per liter in pure city driving.

    Maybe they didn't replace the battery properly. Similar to what happens to a BMW or Benz if battery is not replace following proper procedure.

    It's really hard to tell the reference used by the car's trip computer. In my case I see 10.6 L/100km as average when I last went for a long drive (NLEX/SCTEX + some provincial driving). Using some online conversion, that would yield 9.4 km/L only. But if I use the old trick i.e. gas up full tank, set the odo to zero and manually calculate after refilling, I get 13.3 km/L. This is on a 2.0 model.

    Did you reset it before your trip? It really depends on the car, sometimes I get accurate readings, sometimes I don't. But in general, I try to have trips that are over 100 km (or at least 10L) before resetting to improve accuracy both of MID and full tank method.

    normally mas maganda reading ng manual computation ko ng FC kaysa sa trip computer.

    difference of .5 - 1 km/l

    I see... thanks. I guess the CX-5's trip computer is not so accurate.

    Today, I did a reset and it registered around 5.5 kms per liter.

    The trip computer display in my CX5 is in L/100km, if its the same w/ yours then it should be showing aprox. 18L/100kms? Medyo malakas FC mo sir
